Publisher Summary This chapter provides a taxonomy of optical modulation formats along
with experimental techniques for realizing them. High-speed optical transmission systems …

Advanced optical modulation formats have become a key ingredient to the design of modern
wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optically routed networks. In this paper, we review …

Fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized our telecommunication
infrastructures–currently, almost all telephone land-line, cellular, and internet …

Information-theoretic limits to spectral efficiency in dense wavelength-division-multiplexed
(DWDM) transmission systems are reviewed, considering various modulation techniques …

Phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) offer numerous advantages over phase-insensitive
amplifiers in optical communications. Squeezing of optical phase through PSA can remove …

Gordon and Mollenauer, in their famous paper published in 1990, laid out how the interplay
between the nonlinear Kerr effect in optical fibers and the amplified spontaneous-emission …

Fiber-based all-optical signal regeneration techniques are reviewed. In the first half of the
paper, amplitude regeneration schemes for ON-OFF keying signals using self-phase …
